Class Directories

A class directory allows parents to connect with each other, strengthening community engagement and facilitating better communication. With Onespot, you can easily link a Google Sheets directory to a classroom portal, ensuring that parents and teachers have access to up-to-date contact information.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up a Class Directory

Step 1: Prepare Your Class Directory Spreadsheet

1. Create a Google Sheet with the necessary contact details (e.g., Parent Names, Emails, Phone Numbers).
2. If your school uses an SIS (Student Information System), export the directory as a CSV file and import it into Google Sheets.

Step 2: Adjust Sharing Settings

1. In Google Sheets, click Share.
2. Set the permissions to “Anyone with the link can view” to ensure accessibility.
3. Copy the Google Sheets link.

Step 3: Add the Directory to Your Onespot App

1. Open your Onespot Admin Panel.
2. Navigate to the Classroom Portal (e.g., Class 6).
3. Find the Class Directory section.
4. Paste the Google Sheets link into the directory field.
5. Click Save—now, parents and teachers in Class 6 can access the directory directly from the app.

Why Use This Feature?

A class directory makes it easier for parents to connect, set up playdates, arrange carpools, and stay informed. Instead of relying on printed contact lists, an app-based directory ensures that information is always current and easily accessible, fostering a stronger school community. 🚀
